teaching, involves only the learning
sense of hearing and they easily loose of
interest after some time. However, the
utilization of instructional materials in
teaching and learning situation involves
not only the sense of hearing but also the
sense of hearing but also the sense of
sight and touch.
Looking at educational practices, the
Chinese proverb conclude that:

I HEAR – I FORGET
I SEE – I REMEMBER
I DO – I UNDERSTAND
Kindler(1993) stated that people generally
remember
10% of what they read
20% of what they hear
30% of what of they see
50% of what they hear and see
70% of what they say
90% of what they say as they do a thing
For this reason, it was conclude that
instructional materials in teaching ensure
more effective learning since the learner
not only hears but also sees and does.

big role in teaching and learning process

a. It helps the teacher to provide his
students with meaningful sources of info.

means of wildering his students of
information
